I am grateful to the pcoplo of tho stnto
upon tho renewed expression of their

honorable position of chief executivo
of tho Empire stale. Especially is my
profound acknowledgment duo to tho

"Enough! The new government and

according to tho republiciu senate bill,
which will prove a pyramid of taxa
tion that thu world ha never seon be

vail can only bo solved when it is put
in force. All, prophecies must in litis
strange country oo futile. When forty
years ago tho stubborn and Bhort-t-ighted
slavery oligarchy insisted on
not only repealing tho Missouri com
promise but trying to plant slavery in
tho territoric-i, thoy doomed iheircauso
as much as did Nero doom tho cause of
the temples of Jupiter and Venus wnen
io lighted his golden palace with the
Christian martyrs of whom ho niado
torches. It is the insolence of pride
and oppression that goes before de
struction.
History repeats itself. Tho monop
oly of oligarchy is Bimply repeating
tho folly of the slavery oligarchy of
forty years ago. Thank lion, au eco
nomic revolution is not subject to
bloodbhed. But that there will be an
economio revolution of such intensity
that will deluge this land with bank
ruptcies and ruin for years is as clear
as the sun at noonday.
"1 do not affect to conceal my grati

encountered in some quarters, except
to say thai I was unquestionably for
tunato ill my enemies. Always con
scions of my personal and ofhcial rec
titude and of mv loyalty and devo
tion to tho democratic party and to its
candidates and princiUes, I awaited
tho verdict of tho people with an nbid
in" faith and an unshaken coufidenco
in tho result.
THE NATIONAL DEFEAT.
'Our success in thu gubernatorial
contest is marred, however, by tbo
shadow o( national disaster. In com

that exciso revenues, liko all othor

local treasuries rather than into the
treasury of tho slate. Tho pooplo aro
opposod to hypocritical 'tomperauco'
legislation, so called, not honestly de
signed to aubsorvo tho cause of trno
temperance, but iutondod only for
political (ffeot."
Stop Eleotion Debauchery.
It is possiblo that political debauch
ery controlled tho lato Presidential
election ; but if it did, it was not for
want of equal effort to debauch voters
by tho defeated party. If debauchery
won, it was simply becauso Quay
possessed greater skill or resources, or
both, than Barnuin could command ;
for both sides did all that was pos-iblo
to sontrol tho result by corruption
funds. It is possible that corrupt ef
forts, gigantic 'as thoy were, so nearly
equalled Ihcusclves in both parties
that the lesult waj not decided by do
bauchery t but the fact remains that
debauchery was the rule m every de-
batnblo state, and that Indiana was an
open auction for individual votes.
is this ureal and steadily crowing
politioal debauchery to coutinuo t If
so, it will logically increase with each
atioual contest, lor a slate or a voter
onco controlled iy coiruption lunos
ill not only always be in open market
but debauchery will rapidly Bpread
among tho peoplo aud require increased
conuption funds lor every contest.
And it is idle to preach morality to
party leaders. While religious and
moral zealots will freely contribute
money for political debauchery, leaders
will commend it and rival voters will
ffer their votes in tho market-place.
The evil, now colossal in its proportions
can be overthrown only by tearing up
tho wholo system of Presidential elect
ions bv Slates.
And why should not the pooplo of
ho United States vote directly for
resident and Vice President, from
Maine to California, and tho candidates
receiving tbo highest popular vole bo
declared elected 1 It is in pufect har
mony with tho theory of popular gov
ernment and why adow the expression
of tho people to become tho plaything
of Klectoral Uolleges 7 It is not pro
tended that Presidential Klectors oxer
cis any discretion in voting fr,r Presi
dent aud Vice I'nsident. J. hey woro
oricinally intended to exeiciso an in
tellig- nt and dispassionate judgment
in voting for the two fir-t ofliccs of tho
Republic, but now and ever since the re
tirement of Washington, Piesidential
Electors have been as positive partisans
as waid heelers, and tho whole theory
on which tho JUoctorai uoiicgu was
base i, perished before tha advent of
tho present century.
Four years ago Urovor Cleveland re
ceived a popular majority over James
ti. lilaino ot 1)2,01)1), and yet a change
of COO voles in New York would bavo
made Blaino Piesidont. This year
Benjamin Harriscn will have a popular
majority over Urovor Ulovoland ot
probably o9,00t, and yet a change of
0,000 votes in New York State would
havo re eleoted Cleveland. In 1884
the 81,000 majority tor Blaino in
Pennsylvania had much less voice in
deciding tho Presidential contest than
tho 1,100 majority lor (Jloveland in
New York ; and now the 70,000 ma
jority for Harrison in this state iB much
Itss potential that) tho probable 10,000
majority in tho Empiro State. Less
than 400 votes give Cleveland C
Electoral votes in Connecticut and 30,-
000 votes give Harrison ouiy 4 Eleo,
toial votes in Vermont. In Texas
120,000 votes give Cleveland 13 Elec
toral votts, and probably less tiian
.ri,000 votes give Harrison 15 Electoral
votts in Indiana.
It is this cumbrous aud senseless
electoral system that invites the de
bauchery ot voters in every close state,
aud it is also a const int menace to tho
popular will in tho election of a Presi
dent. It should be promptly a olished
as tho fruitful parent of electoral crimes
and as tho most threatening of all tho
patent perils to frto government. If
the people of every Stalo and Territory
were author xed to vote directly for
their favorite candidates for President
and Vice President, with tho assurance
that the candidates receiving tho larg
est number of voles would bo declared
elected, the- debauchery of close States
would end at once. What could it
matter then whether Now York, Con
necticut, Indiana, West Virginia or
California gavo a fow thousand more
or less for a particular candidate 1 A
majority in a particular State would bo
ol no practical moment, and the miss
tons of the piofesstonal corrupter of
votors and of professional traders in
votes would end. Is this not tho trno
and safe way for a free govornmont to
elect its rulers T
A direct vote for President and Vico
President would not only end tho now
great and steadily growth in debauchery
of uloso states, but it would end all ftp
prehensions of dispute as to the election
Tho closest popular vole in all our
Presidential elections since the organ
ization of the government was in 1880,
when Garfield reooiTod about 7,000
popular majority over Hancock. In
all other ojntests from Washington
down to tho battle of 1888, t ho popular
majority has been so deculedtliat nono
could ntteniptn toassnil it. Anoth
er strong roasog for abandoning the
Electoral Collo e is in tho fact that it
has twice defeatod candidates to whom
tho pcoplo gavo decidedly tho largest
vote. Jackson was defeated in 182 1
when ho had 50,000 majority over
Adam0, anil Tilden was dufcated in
1870 when the pcoplo had voted against
naves by .'au.wu majority.
Is it not time to end tho appalling
political debauchery of tho present age
and end ill peril to the popular will, by
abolishing tho Electoral College and
allowing tho peoplo to elect 1'resldent
and Vice President by a direct vote

A Hawk Attaoks A Man
Rockland. Pn., Nov. 10. James P.
Schacffer of this placo had a remark
nblo experience with a chicken hawk
a fow days ago. Ho was driving along
tho, road, nod had seen tho hawk sail
ing about high in tho air for Home
time. I'inally ho noticed that tho bud
was rapidlyidesccnding, nnd, supposing
that it was droimimr ilnwn tin tirnv nf
sotno kind, stopped liis team to watch
tho result of the attack.
Whether, tho hawk concluded that
Schacffer was there to autagonizo it in
its efforts to get' a dinner, and deter
mined to resent interference, Schacffer
is not abletO'.explain, but ho was not
long in discovering that he himself
wa the objccV of the big bird's attack.
It swooped down upon him with ter
riblo floret ness, struck at him savagely
Willi bom beak and talons, and then
alighted on tho ground at tho roadside,
whero it put itself in unmistakable
fighting position.
Hchaeucr was greatly surprised at
this attack, but, supposing that it
wouldn't be much of a trick to whip a
chicken hawk, ho got out of his wagon.
Ho had scarcely placed his feet on the
ground when tho hawk rushed at him,
half flying and half running. Schacf
fer met tho bird with a vigorous kick
in the breast, but that, only had the ci
feet of adding to its race. Tho man
quickly made up his mind that ho had
met an antagonist a little louglipr than
he had counted cn, and, grabbing a
stick from tho roadside, went into the
fight in earnest.
lietore oohaeiter could effectively
use his club on tho fierce and active
hawk it had ripped his clothes with its
tilons as if the rcnis had been mado
with a sharp knife, and laid the flesh
open in great gashes on his face, legs
and shoulders. At last a lucky blow
with tho club stunned the bird, and be
fore it could recover SchacfTer des
patched it.
Ho was so badly hurt that ho had
to return homo and get medical attend
ance. Ho is still housod up. The
hank measured nearly six feet from
lip to tip of its wings, and Schacffer
says tbat he believes it would hayo
got tho best of him if ho had not been
lucky enough to find tho club within
his reach. Such a wild attack on a
man by a hawk, a bird naturally shy
of tho human pnsence, is undoubtedly
without a precedent.

Another Woman Murdered.
THE WlllTECHAl'Kl. FIEND ADDS ONE MOItE
TO THE LIST,
London, Nov. 9, Tho murder fiend
has added added another to his list of
victims. At 11 0 clock this morning
tho body of a woman cut into pieces
was discovered in a houso on Dorset
street, Smtalfields. Tho polioe are en
deavorinc to traok the murderer with
tho nid ot bloodhounds. Tho remains
were mutilated in tho same horrible
manner 09 were thoso of tho other
women murdered in Whitechapel.
Tho victim, liko all tho others, was a
disreputable woman, bho was married
and her husband was a porter. They
had lived together at Fpasmodio inter
vals, Her narao is believed to havo
been Lizzio Fisher, but to most of. the
habitues of the haunts she was known
as Mary Jane. Sho had a room in th
house where sho was murdered. Sho
carrioi a latch key, and no one knows
nt what hour she entered the houso last
night, and probably no ono saw tho
nvm who accompanied her. There,
lore it is hardly likely that ho will ever
bo Identitled. llo might easily hav
left tho houso at any timo between 1
and 0 o'clock this morning without
attracting 'attention, Tho doctors who
have cxatnlntjd thp remains refuse to
irako any statenietil until tho inquest
ts held.
The bloodhounds belonging to pri
vate citizens wcro taken to tho placo
where the body lies and placed on the
scout of tho murderer, but thoy wire
uuablo to keep it for any great dutance,
anil all hopes of running tho nssm.-iu
down with their assistance will have
to bo abandoned.

An encouraging sign from a physi
cal standpoint is the largely increas
ing number of women who nro taking
up thoso out-door sports in which
health and pleasure go hand in hand.
Perhaps tho most beneficial sport is
that of tricycling, nnd these crisp
autumnal days aro better than any
other timo of tho year to enjoy a rido
between tho wheels. The womon of
America do not rido as much as their
transatlantic sisters, but they aro fast
finding out that if thoy wish to com
peto with the English women in con
stitutional vigor thoy must lead a lifo
into which open air athletic creatio'-s
moro largely enter. Tho advantages
of tho trioyclo havo only been realized
in this country a few years, but in
that timo it has beoomo wonderfully
popular and every month finds a great
increase in the number 01 laay trioy-
. ... -, r,. i
cle riders.
In Eniiland, Queen Viotoria, tho
Princess Louise, tho Princo of Wales,
two of his daughters, and hundreds
of noblo birth uso tho tricycle. In
this country, Hov. Honry Ward Beech
er. Rev. Geo. P. Pentecost, and. Sena
tor William M. Evarts woro enthu
siasts on the subject. President Cleve
land, when in Buffalo, often used a
friend's trioycle, and when ho removed
to Washington ho was presented with
one for his own use.
At tho capital, many of the leading
physicians now rido trioyclos in mak
ing calls on their pationts. Dr. Rob
ert Reyburu, who was ono of Gar
field's surgical attendants; Dr. John
Walter, of tho Georgetown University,
and Dr. J. Tiber Johnson, who was
Charles Sumner's physician, all uso
them.
TIHCVOLINO IN l-IIILADKLriHA.
The growth ol tricycling in this
city has kept pace with tho impi-ovo-ment
of tho thoroughfares. The as
phalt street) havo been great factors in
this development and there aro now
between two and throo hundred ladies
who rido the wheels. This is not con
sidered a bad showing for a city the
streets of which are mostly paved with
rough cobble-stones. Of this number
soma are regular members of tho
clubs.
The Philadelphia Bioyalo Club
leads with a .out twenty-five lady
members, who have elegant quartors in
a handsomely-appointed now club house
near the Groen street entrance to Fair-
mount Park. In this club the ladies
who aro most aclivo in riding aro Mrs.
Charles Kichardson, wile ot tho ox
president of the Laud Titlo and Trust
Company; Mrs. W. R. Tucker, whoso
U!baud is a prominent wheelman and
a member of tho Board of rort Ward
ens; Mrs. II. R. Lewis, Mrs. Harris,
Mrs. Bemeut, Mrs. Bclheld. jura. Dr.
Martin, Mrs. II. B. Hart, Mrs. Dr.
Inglis, Mrs. MoKeehan, Mrs. Lewis,
nnd the Misses Crocker, Roberts, Mur
phy, Armbrustcr and Massoy.
The Pennsylvania Bicycle Club has
three ladv members. They are Mrs.
Worrell, Mrs. Elwelt and Mrs. Mo-
Dor.noll. Tho Century wheelmen
havo nono at present, but a number of
ladies will join when they movo into
their new club house.
TJl'TOWN WIIEKI.WOIIEN.
There aro numerous unattaohed
riders in tho northwestorn soctton of
tho city, whero the asphalt streets af
ford unequaled lacilitif s lor the enjoy,
meut of tho sport. Iu pleasant weath
er dozens ot tncvcies may bo seen
spinning along tho smooth surfaco of
Diamond street. In this locality are
Mrs. McCutcheon, Mrs. Kirk Brown,
Mrs. Sweeting and tho Misjcs Kcnd
all, LiiiKcrman, Sadler, Bailey, Step
pacher, vvanamakor and lvoy. Miss
Mautfio Zell, of Readme:, is ono of the
most gracofal riders in this locality.
Mrs Connor, Mrs. Gideon, Mrs. Isoor
man and Miss Maltby live in German
town and take quiet rides throuuh the
leafy lanes and pleasaut roads of that
beautiful suburb.
Mis. Uidcon and -Mrs. rowed wero
at one timo members of the Ladies
Trioyclo Olnb, which was tho first or
ganization ot Us kind in thu country,
It was a prematura effort and finally
fell through, although sinco that timo
ladies clubs have been organized aud
successfully carried on in Washington,
fiuttalo and other cities.
Tricycling had quite a boom at tho
seashore during tho season. Many of
tho Philadelphia belles who summered
at Atlantic City had their tncyoles in
constant uso thero. Tno tandem tri
oyclo was stiongly tho favorite, and
there wero many hnn riders among the
ladies. Miss JJelle isnnton, ot North
Broad street, was a most enthusiastic
rider. Miss Emily Addison and Miss
Alyra oteel wero adepts at tho sport
Mrs. dames A. Harrison, who is well
known in Philadelphia society, had
her tandem in constant uso. Miss
Sarah Hall, Miss Susie Craig and Miss.
Bessio Baker took daily spins along
the hard beach. Tho Misses Wallace,
Spofford, Stoddard and Spatilding cov
ered mauv miles. Miss Bessio Jessup,
a handsome blonde; Miss l.mda now
ell and Miss ueorgio l.tppmcott woro
picturesque costumes nud were expert
riders.
COVEltINO A THOUSAND MILES,
Some of the ladies in nnd around
this city have mado some good ro
cords. Mrs. Johnson, of Orange, N
J., has ridden over a thousand miles
during tho season, ono of hor longest
rides being 1AU miles, 111 company
with her husband, on e tandem tncy
cle. Mr. and Mis. II. R. Lewis, of
this city, spent the wholo of last sum
mer on a tour through l!,uropo on a
tricycle, uiey covoied between one
nud two thousand miles.
Something now in tho way of cyclic
locomotion lias boon introduced. It is
a safety bicycle for ladies. It is al
most sfmilia'r to tho ordinary bicyclo
ovcepl that thu construction ot tho
back-bono or connecting bar, which
presented an insuperable difficulty to a
woman In tier ordinary wearing op
parci; lias been changed by curving
it down and upwards in tho shapo ol
a hguru 2. By this arrangement
when n lady is seated upon tho saddle
with her feet on tho pedals, thero is
nothing to prevent her dress from tall
iii' around Iter in a proper manner.
There are four of these machines,
which nro of Engl sh origin, in this
city, Thoy are owned by Mr. and
Mrs. Kirk Brown, Mr. nud Mr. H. B.

How to Live to a Good Old Age,
Tho first lesson to bo taught and
learned is : thai, all disease is tho re
sult of broken law ; that much of it
miuht easily bo avoided bv the obserr'
anco of tho laws of health on tho part
.1 1- 1 1 ,t ., . 1. .
01 ino inuiviuuai ; mat, n.ucn more,
which is beyond tho reach of individuals
might be prevented by the combined
efforts of communities and tho stale ;
and that thoso diseases which are en
tailed upon this generation by the law
of, heredity, might by obedienco to law
oe gradually stamped out of existence,
add future ages bo freed from their
curse.
Tho next thing to bo taught is tho
laws themselves and with tho laws,
and of even greator importance, tho
habit of obeying them. We know a
great deal more than we put inpractico.
This is tho fault of tho common modes'
of health teaching. Our newspapers
and periodical literature contains a vast
deal of popular instruction iu theso
matter. Thoy aro treated of id ,an
abundance of well-written books which
aro within easy reach of all who caro
to read them. Oar schools are taking
hold of the good work, and instruction
in iiygienn is fast coming to be recog
nized as an essential of even an element
ary education. But all these do not
reach tbe evil, or if thoy do, ihey only
touch it on tho surface.
Our schools aro full of good gram
marians who do not use respectable,
Euglish in common conversation. So,
too, they may be full of glib reciters of
tho laws of health, who do not.observo
a Binglo one of tho laws they hayo
learned. 1 ho main point is to secure
obedioncc. The greatest criminals are
usually well versed in the laws of the
land ; but their knowledge does not,
avail to keep them out of the peniten
tiary when tbey have broken these
laws. Neither will a knowlcdgo of tho
laws of health keep a man from being
sick, so long as he does not live up to
his knowledge. Wo ore creatures of
imitation. Example counts counts for
more than ptec-pt. The patent knows
the law, aud the child knows it too.
When tho parent keeps it, then the
children will keop it also. It docs little
good for a child to learn at school that
tho food should bu properly mast cat-id,
when three times every day at homo
ho sees a huugrv group crowd about
the table liko pigs around a trough,
and bolt their food as nearly wholo as
it can b? made to go down. Tho child
whose mother gives it a bito of some
thing to eat ovcry timo it cries for it,
will not be in a condiliou to profit from
an understanding of the law that food
should not be taken between meals,
until it is too lato for tho knowlcdgo
to bo of much service. The law of
pure air aud proper ventilation mav be
taught over so plainly in tho tex -Looks,
out 10 tuo boy wno is urougui up 10
sit and to sleep in a close, unvt inflated
room, foul with the breath of living
boiugs, aud shun fresh air as ho would
a plague, thu knowledge will be of
little avail. While his father's cellar
is filled with decaying meat, vegetables
and all manmr of tilth, and tho cess
pool smells to heaven from beneath tho
kitchen window, all the teachings of
tho pchools will not prevent his having
typhoid fever, or diphtheria, or sonio
lorin ot lilt li disease, when tbo summer
sun calls into activity tho germs ot
disease which are latent there. If
liquors aro kept upon tho sideboard
aud wines are served upon tho tablo in
his home, not all tho teachings ol all
the temperance toxt-b.ioks in the land
can bo relied upon to produce in him
habits of sobriety and total abstinence.
T. ; . .1... i f .1... ; e
ji is ino pniuuuu ui niu principles ui
bygieuo in our homes, and this alone,
which will lessen the rate of disaso
and death to-day, and develop a sttong
er raco to-moiro'w. The child who had
learn ud tho laws of hi tilth from his
father and mother by seeing them con
tinually and persistently applied, will
comi to follow them in his own case,
as he will conduct hiins It properly in
good society, if good society has been
his birthright, and gent lomauly conduct
has become habitual. Good House
keeping. Tbe New Lien Liw Bet Aside.
Tho decision of the Supre mu Couit of
the Stntes given by JusticoWillialns in
Pittsburg on Monday last sets aside
tho entiro new lien law passed by the
Inst Legislature on tho broad ground
that it is unconstitutional. TheLegis-
laturo strangely omitted to reoite tho
lien laws ot 18110 and 1815 which it in
tended to amend, aud that U bo oloarly
in disregard of a positive mandato of
tho Coiihtilut:on that the Supremo
Court could do no less than declare tho
act null and void.
Tho effect of tho decision of the Sup
remo Court wi'l bo to destroy all liens
entered against properties by individu
al mechanics or material men dealing
with sub contractors. Many such havu
been entered during thu last year,
instead of claiming and entering them
only "ou tho basis of a contract, ex.
pirssed or implied, with the owner and
on the credit of tho building,'' as tho
Sup.-cme Court defines thu rights; nnd
all such lieni will be valueless and tho
oosts will tall upon thoso who entered
them.
This decision of tho court ol last ro-
sort does not comprise tho mechanics'
lions of the State, except as thoy havo
been entered by individuals or dealers
with tub contractors under tho net of
January 17, 1HS7. The acts of 1880
and lo 15, with tho judicial decisions
mado under them, remain in lull force,
and all liens entered by material men
or mechanics in nrcordano with iho old
lawp, a nine-tenths of a'l hao been, aro
valid liens and fully piottct parlies
in their claims. Times.
